    What do people think of Javier Milei?

    A Thatcher admiring anarcho capitalist, keen on Ukraine and Israel. Then there's a piece in Foreign Affairs saying he wants to destroy democracy from within.

    He likes Thatcher but still thinks Argentina should control the Falklands. Interesting combination.
    Hasn't every Argentine leader said that for the last 40 years though ? Sabre rattling for domestic consumption, their real battle always is Argentina's inevitably horrendous finances.
    They are taught in school that not only are the islands Argentinian but the people speak Spanish and are forced to stay with Britain against their will.

    It came as a real shock to the Argentine conscripts in 1982 to find nobody understood a word they said and that they were all so hated.
    whats more concerning is that many countries (even allies) view the Falklands as a colonial anomaly and arent minded to go out of their way to support UK sovereignty

    What's all this about the SNP and a 95k Jag
    It's in the Spectatir but I am not a subscriber so cannot read it.

    Nicola Sturgeon’s husband Peter Murrell investigated over £95k car

    He absolutely should be.

    What sort of idiot would pay £95k for a piece of junk like a Jag?
    WeBuyAnyCar is a great way to not realise full market value of your car.

    The cut they take is massive. The Wonga of the second hand car market.
    Agreed. Their prices are lunacy.

    Motorway gave me over £1200 more than StupidAd would have done when I sold mine a few months ago.

    I just tried an experiment with my current car:

    WBAC quote: £9,750
    Motorway quote: £11,508

    So, it appears you're very much right!
